Mad Men Finale Sets Ratings Mark, Devious Maids Fails to Clean Up

A Mad Men Season 6 finale that changed almost everything set a new high ratings mark for the AMC drama, as 2.7 million viewers tuned in to see - SPOILER ALERT! - Don get fired and Ted break Peggy's heart.

It was the show's most-watched finale, beating out last year's closer by 100,000 viewers.

Devious Maids came in at 2 million total, approximately the same as The Client List Season 2 finale in the same time slot for Lifetime.

Nik Wallenda‘s tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon earned 13 million viewers for the 22 minutes it took him to make the dangerous trek. It finished as Discovery's third-highest rated special of all-time.
